Mary made a difference in this world. She sure helped me during my teenage years, always supporting and guiding me. I am sad to see her go but she sure has made her way to heaven. She was a good woman, strong and independent. I am sending a hug to you Stacey as I know this has been a hard time. I will always remember how your mom gave us rides to volunteer at the hospital and how she encourage us to become mediators for the state. She would always bring groceries to my family. I never forgot all her kind gestures. She had a heart of gold! God bless you Mary.
